Subject: problem with fedora 3
hi,
i have a hp pavillion celeron pc. i was having red hat 7.2 previously and it was working fine. now i upgraded it to fedora 3. The installation went without any problem. But when i boot the machine, it accepts the user and password and then nothing comes up. i see just vertical stripes in the display. i guess it's not working properly with graphics card.
i have windows 98 in another partition and it works fine. By the way, how does it accept the user and password in a graphical interface if it has problems with graphics card?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks venkat

Reboot, and when you see the Grub menu, hit "e" to enter edit mode. Then choose the line with the kernel in it (it will look similar to:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
Take out the "rhgb quiet" part and add "3" so it looks similar to this:
